H5N1 in England

This is the first time HPAI H5N1 has been found in poultry in England, infecting turkeys on a farm in Suffolk. We'll have to see if it is found in wild birds in the area. Still a lot we don't know about how this might be transmitted across Europe. Earlier this winter there was an outbreak in Russia and Hungary.

  1. It amazes me that with all the publicity the about the bird flu that less than 200 people have died from it. Let's hope it stays that way.
